Cyber-Resilience in Shipping and Maritime Industry.
Cyber resilience is the ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber-attacks. It helps an organisation protect against cyber risks, defend against and limit the severity of attacks, and ensure its continued survival despite an attack.
